nimbev,
Hey PA, I normally agree with you, but you are beginning to sound as if you are on the Q400 team
'Maritime awareness will have nothing to do with it' .No, but the fact that they dont actually have a product will have something to do with it!
By the way, I didnt know that Burridge had been CAS???
No, no, no, noooooo - absolutely not a supporter of the Q400 and I agree that not having a product is a major limitation. I'm certain that an 'off the shelf' option will be a significant factor in a future decision.
As to Burridge, he made 4* and C-in-C STC, which in his day was effectively the operational leader of the RAF as opposed to the titular head, i.e, CAS. Still a man to be respected and listened to if he can grease the right palms, although one would hope he's pushing a non-starter.
P.S. For some reason, my quotation button isn't working today??
